"There are a lot of us young Brits moving out at the moment," group member Eytan Halon, 23, from Cheadle, said. "I studied law and French at Birmingham. It was a long four years and now the only thing left to do is make aliyah."

Parents of group members said they were actively supporting their children's plans to leave Britain - with many saying they hoped eventually to join them.

Ronen Feiner, 22, originally from Edgware, north-west London, made aliyah last month after completing a six-month internship run by the Jewish Agency and Israeli government. He said: "It is great to have this group - we can make connections before we even get to Israel."
